They MISSED something at the hospital last night. I have to go back.

I have a collapsed lung.

I'm so scared. About everything. I hope they don't tell me I can't wear my binder anymore.

I can't be a girl at school again. I'll die.

ER

Thank you so much, everyone. Kate, thank you for what your mom said, I feel better about that. :) Indeed, X-rays show that the collapse is high up, so it's unlikely my binder had ANYTHING to do with it.

This is the entry where I tell the whole story, so it might be a tad long. And rambly. And boring. Sorry. But I thought it was all kinda cool.

Last night I had to run to Emergency. Around 7:30, I started to feel a stabbing pain in the left side of my chest. After hurting for about 20 minutes, it suddenly spread in a burn across my chest and down my left arm. Very bad sign, nu?

So I went downstairs to tell my parents. I couldn't really breathe, and my mom said it sounded like what she used to get as a kid. The doctors never really figured out what it was, but they thought her lungs were seizing up.

She made me lie down, and we waited for it to pass; but instead I had to run to the sink. I puked seven times. At that point, we decided to ( take me to the hospital )

Wow, that last post WAS long.

Salient points: (as quoted from the last entry) I actually have no idea why my lung collapsed, but apparently it's not uncommon for that to happen for no reason. Plus, I have asthma - the doctor seemed to think that might possibly have something to do with it.

The collapse is small enough that they think it will heal on it's own, but I need to go in Monday morning for more X-rays to be sure.

And that was the first time I've ever been in the hospital, so I think I'll be remembering the beds and the beeping and the blue curtains for a long time.

Enough! Time Out!

Okay, people. It's National Coming Out Day. (Something I didn't even realize existed until yesterday.)

Yes.

Yes, it is.

YES, PEOPLE, IT'S NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY! YAAAAY! WAVE THE FLAGS! RAISE THE BANNERS! RAISE OUR VOICES IN CELEBRATION! RAISE-

-or, you know, we could all shut up.

Look, it's fine with me when my FRIENDS post something. That's fine. Sometimes these things go by where we all have to commment, right? Look, I'm doing it!

But why the FUCK does everyone in the gaystr8alliance commmunity have to do it? Really? C'mon, one person posts, "Happy National Coming Out Day!" everyone says, "yeah!" and that's the end of it. People don't have to repeat themselves! Jesus fuck! Save it for your own journal!

I mean, this way, I have to see it TWICE as many times as I normally would. Which pisses me off because they are NOT people I care enough about to say, "Yay!" with.

And I will clock the next idiot who says, "I'm here, I'm queer, get used to it," in block letters.

Edit: You people know this doesn't mean you, right? *tilts head*
